Browns interim head coach Gregg Williams also downplayed the staredown.

"Oh, no," Williams said with a laugh. "I am onto now the Ravens. I did not see it so that will be something I will chit chat next week about."

Mayfield has guided Cleveland to a 5-2 record since the firing of Jackson back in October. Mayfield has defeated the Bengals twice with Jackson on the sideline. He was hired by Cincinnati as a special assistant to head coach Marvin Lewis shortly after his termination.

Jackson's move to the division rival Bengals didn't sit well with Mayfield and he hasn't been coy about showing his emotions. Previously, Mayfield gave his old coach the cold shoulder after their first meeting this season, followed by calling Jackson "fake" under a post on social media.

Mayfield threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns while completing 73 percent of his passes against the Bengals on Sunday. He has completed 64.6 percent of his passes with 3,349 yards, 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his rookie campaign.

Jackson posted a 3-36-1 record in three seasons with the Browns before being relieved.
